Improved Xerox Colour 1000 digital press to increase customer productivity

The press has typically been used to produce full-colour sales collateral, direct marketing, and photo-finishing products, as well as highlighted images and text using the clear dry ink station.

"We have installed numerous X1000 presses both locally and in Mauritius and Tanzania, and these presses have been very well received by our customers. The new features will add value for our customers by enabling them to improve productivity and offer additional finishing options," said Paul Haglich, product manager PSG in the Xerox division at Bytes Document Solutions.

New options and programs added to the Colour 800/1000 include:

• Xerox's Automated Colour Quality Suite (ACQS) - The Colour 800/1000 presses are the latest devices in Xerox's production colour fleet to offer ACQS, which is part of Xerox's Full Width Array technology. With ACQS, operators can quickly and easily tackle colour-management tasks for consistency and accuracy - delivering the exact colour every time regardless of paper stock.
  The Full Width Array option also includes advanced image quality adjustments, so settings such as front-to-back registration can be made quickly - saving time and allowing shops to produce more high-value jobs.
  
• Xerox Perfect Binder - Designed for users looking to do book applications, the in-line Perfect Binder produces high-quality, full-colour bound books. The manual mode gives operators the flexibility to introduce book blocks and covers from other print devices while the Colour 1000 is producing alternative applications, driving maximum productivity.
  
• Clearly Different Program - This collection of multimedia demos, trainings, brochures and design guides helps Colour 1000 users train their sales teams on the value of clear dry ink. Examples of the most popular and impact-full applications are included to demonstrate its capabilities.

The Full Width Array and ACQS are options with limited availability; full availability worldwide planned from October 2011. The Xerox Perfect Binder is scheduled to be available in the fourth quarter; the Clearly Different Program is available immediately.
